FAQs

A 19th-century silver gilt mirror is a decorative looking glass featuring a wooden frame coated in a thin layer of silver leaf or composition metal, often styled after classical French design movements such as Neoclassicism or Empire.

These mirrors typically utilise a carved softwood or hardwood base covered in gessoa plaster-like mixturewhich is hand-carved, smoothed, and meticulously gilded with silver leaf before being aged with a patina.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the reverse for hand-adzed wood, old fixings, and traditional joinery, alongside examining the silver leaf for natural oxidation, craquelure in the gesso, and minor imperfections in the glass plate.

Such mirrors serve as striking focal points when hung above a mantelpiece or positioned opposite a window to amplify natural light, effectively bridging traditional craftsmanship with modern minimalist interiors.

Silver gilt surfaces require gentle dusting with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; chemical cleaners and excessive moisture must be strictly avoided to prevent stripping the delicate metallic leaf and historic gesso.
